Galamsey refers to illegal small-scale gold mining in Ghana. The term is derived from the English phrase "gather them and sell".

However, over time, the term has taken on a broader meaning, encompassing both legal and artisanal small-scale mining (ASM). In Ghana, those involved in these activities are called galamseyers, and in neighbouring Francophone countries such as Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso, they are often referred to as orpailleurs.
